Highlighting a myriad of topics, including language, cuisine, climate,

Parents,

warning, parents: your kids will want to start celebrating a new

My Review:
If You Were Me And Lived In...Peru, is a great book to teach your little one about a country in South America that is rich in culture. Peru's capital city Lima overlooks the ocean and the population there is huge raining in at 9 million people. Now that's a lot!!! Lima means "talker". Hugo would be a popular boy name in Peru and a popular girl name would be Carmen. Mami and Papi would be what you called your parents, if you lived there. The civilization there is very old, Incas use to inhabit Peru. I really believe this old world has many stories to tell in its culture as well as its people.

The people there prepare and eat many interesting foods, fried doughnuts sounds yummy! Potatoes are quite popular there and they have several different types for many different taste buds. A old country world full of people, great food and lots of old culture is found in the fascination country of Peru. If you would like to learn more, you can at this link.
